#309 - Chapter 306: Hype Traffic

Shio Shyunji didn't continue speaking because he couldn't and didn't dare to say that Takatsuki-sensei's true identity was a Ghoul.

The boy next to Takatsuki-sensei looked like he should be human. Could it be that Takatsuki-sensei had really developed feelings of love for a human?

Or is it just a deception created to eat this human?

But if it's really a deception, there's no need to specifically come to the editorial department to tell him, right?

For a time, Shio Shyunji was full of doubts.

Shio Shyunji could be said to be the only ordinary human who knew that Takatsuki Izumi was a Ghoul, having accidentally discovered Takatsuki Izumi's identity many years ago.

But at that time, Takatsuki-sensei didn't kill him to silence him, and he concealed this secret, still interacting with Takatsuki-sensei normally as an editor.

"It seems that Shio-sensei didn't recognize him, right? He is actually a Ghoul Investigator from the CCG."

At this time, Eto Yoshimura explained, "He's exactly the type I like, and dating a Ghoul Investigator can also provide very useful material for my new book."

"Oh, oh, so he's a Ghoul Investigator."

Out of politeness, Amon Kōtarō also introduced himself and handed his business card to Shio Shyunji.

Shio Shyunji took the business card and glanced at it, his expression immediately changing. He adjusted his glasses with his hand, and his body subconsciously straightened up.

Two pieces of information on the business card caught his attention: one was Associate Special Class Investigator, and the other was the Branch Manager of the 20th Ward CCG.

This looked like a high-level figure in the CCG. He didn't expect Takatsuki-sensei to actually be dating someone of this level.

Most importantly, Takatsuki-sensei's true identity is a Ghoul. Is it really okay to date a high-level figure in the CCG?

What if she's discovered...?

"Hello, Mr. Amon, nice to meet you. I am Takatsuki-sensei's editor, Shio Shyunji."

At this time, Shio Shyunji stood up and extended his hand to Amon Kōtarō.

Amon Kōtarō also reached out and shook his hand.

"But... did Takatsuki-sensei specifically come here to reveal the matter of her love, is there something else going on?"

Shio Shyunji tried to ask.

He was very worried about this matter, after all, Takatsuki-sensei's love interest was too risky.

"If you're talking about other things, there certainly is. Don't those media reporters like to dig up scandals the most? For example, if the matter of me dating the CCG Branch Manager were to spread, my reputation would be even greater."

Eto Yoshimura stated her intention, "So, I need to specifically reveal this matter to you, and then you can help me manipulate it behind the scenes."

"I see..."

Shio Shyunji pondered for a while.

This was indeed a good way to enhance her reputation.

However......

Shio Shyunji immediately looked at Amon Kōtarō, "Mr. Amon, do you not mind this?"

"What's there to mind? The fact that I like her hasn't changed because of this, and he's not that petty."

Eto Yoshimura said with a smile.

"......"

Amon Kōtarō was speechless.

But it had to be said that Eto Yoshimura's operation was indeed a good way to play with traffic.

Although the internet in this world is not as developed as in his previous life, it should also have good results, right?

At least, if he were to hype it up like this in his previous life, the traffic would definitely not be small.

Amon Kōtarō could also roughly understand Eto Yoshimura's purpose in doing this. After her reputation improved, with the release of her new work, revealing the true face of the Washuu family would cause a greater reaction in society.

"I understand. We will help Takatsuki-sensei in this regard next."

Shio Shyunji nodded.

If Takatsuki-sensei was just an ordinary girl, if she dared to make the matter of her dating a Ghoul Investigator public like this, it would definitely attract great danger.

Because there would definitely be Ghouls who would retaliate against the investigator's family members, just like drug lords retaliating against the families of anti-drug police.

The relationship between Ghouls and Investigators can almost be said to be an irreconcilable deadly enemy relationship.

But Takatsuki-sensei herself is also a Ghoul, so the problem is not that big.

However, Shio Shyunji didn't know how strong Eto Yoshimura's specific strength was, otherwise he wouldn't have been so worried about Eto Yoshimura dating a Ghoul Investigator.

"Well, then I'll leave it to Mr. Shio."

Eto Yoshimura said with a smile.

Afterward, Amon Kōtarō and Eto Yoshimura left "Shūeisha".

Not long after Amon and Eto left, other editors in the same office talked to Shio Shyunji about this matter.

"Shio, your Takatsuki-sensei has also started dating, and it's such an excellent boy."

"Takatsuki-sensei has also reached the age where she would be anxious, right? I remember she's already twenty-four or twenty-five years old, right?"

"Isn't this a noona romance? I feel like that boy just now looked less than twenty years old, although his qualifications don't seem like something a young man in his twenties could have, being both a Branch Manager and an Associate Special Class Investigator..."

"......"

Listening to his colleagues talking about this matter, Shio Shyunji could only respond with a slightly awkward expression.

Unlike his colleagues who were chatting so happily, Shio Shyunji was very worried.

After all, if Takatsuki-sensei's Ghoul identity were to be exposed in front of that Mr. Amon, he would definitely be affected as well.

Or, if Takatsuki-sensei was noticed to have something wrong and was suspected, he, as the editor in charge, would definitely be caught for investigation, or even severely tortured......

Shio Shyunji was, after all, an ordinary person. Facing that kind of situation, he felt that he shouldn't be able to withstand those tortures.

In fact, Shio Shyunji was indeed tortured by the CCG at the end of the original work and confessed Takatsuki Izumi's Ghoul identity, leading to Takatsuki Izumi being captured.

But that was also part of Eto Yoshimura's plan, so she didn't blame Shio Shyunji.

It's just that Shio Shyunji's final ending was very tragic......

Of course, these are all things in the original work, and it is impossible for them to happen again in this world.

....................

ps: I will slowly consider the settings of the Nine Tailed Beasts and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path first, and I will not rush to make a decision. According to the subsequent plot development, let's see the situation. For example, if I can think of a wonderful plot for the Nine Tailed Beasts and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, I will not abandon the settings. Currently, I have not thought of a related wonderful plot, even if I write it, it will be plain and there will be nothing to see, so let's wait slowly later... (The reason why I haven't conceived it well now is also because I am really short of energy to work on two books at the same time. When the new book is finished in a few days, I will focus on writing this book and maybe there will be many good inspirations, so I won't say too much for now)
